Global well-posedness of the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel system near a straight line (Q6564438)

This paper is devoted to a construction of solutions to the three-dimensional parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel model emanating from specific singular data, namely measures close to a Dirac measure (of mass less than \(8\pi\)) supported on a line. The idea of this construction stems from the analysis of 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations with measure as the initial vorticity as well as from Morrey space (\(M^{3/2}(\mathbb R^3)\)) type solvability results for the chemotaxis system in 3D. To prove the existence of such not small solutions a careful analysis of the linearized solutions (estimates of linear propagators) has been performed as prerequisite. Then, a fixed point argument in suitably chosen anisotropic function spaces concludes the proof. The crucial decomposition of the solution consists in choosing the (non explicit) self-similar solution of the Keller-Segel system (in a sense analogous to the Dirac initial vorticity problem for the Navier-Stokes equations), the core part, and the background part.
